My very first "Rag" Quilt






Well. Since becoming a homemaker. I have had a little bit more time to do things that I normally didn't have time to do, and this is one of those things. I really wanted to make a baby rag blanket. I must admit that it took a little longer than I expected it too, and I definitely learned a thing or two about making them in the future, but all in all, it turned out splendid.

Another thing that I learned, always buy fabric on sale! This blanket cost me about $23 to make, and though that doesn't sound like that much. I really think that I could have made it for cheaper. But if anyone is thinking about making one of these in the near future. Let me know! I now know some things about putting it all together.

Collin and I are still doing "swell". We're getting into the grove of this new life, and the grove of the kicking baby. He loves to kick and wiggle and make my stomach bounce up and down and all around. Sometimes this is absolutely amazing, and others (like when I want to take a nap) it can get really irritating. But I'm trying to be optimistic. He is a really blessing in our lives.

Another occurrence in our life is that we were able to see some friends. The Lindstroms! They stopped by and visited us in our new abode. And I even have a picture to prove it. (wink wink)

All is well over here, though. We are living and loving life for all we're worth. (well.... kinda.. :} )

24 Weeks Pregnant


I know that there are some of you out there who are "dying" to see my baby belly bump. So, I finally have a little bit of one to show off...

I hope that it's not too disappointing to those who have been wanting to see it. I'm doing my best over here! I still think it's pretty darn cute, though.

Oh... and we've thought of a name for the little guy.... but I'm not telling anyone what it is yet!! (giggle)

Other than my slowly growing belly, not much is going on... I'm still trying to figure out what I am going to do with my life as the chores around the house slow down. Any ideas???

Love you guys!
